SUMMER FASHION

Day.....whatever. Ha Ha.

Back in Black

I have worn leisure wear pretty much every day for the last 7 weeks.  Just a constant rotation of tee shirts and lulu pants.  And I sort of foresee that being my wardrobe for the next month or two at least.  It's hard to get motivated to get dressed when you never leave the house except for walks.   However..........
